History

Between 1917 and 1926 SR 55 had a different route that follows the route that SR 2 takes today, from Hebron and Valparaiso. At this point the route that SR 55 takes today was of Old SR 8. In 1930, SR 55 and State Road 53 swapped routes in Lake County.[3] At some point, the southern terminus of SR 55 was at the intersection with U.S. Route 136, approximately two miles west of Crawfordsville.[4]
